The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, widely known as Nana B, has accused the Ghana Police Service of hypocrisy and selective justice after the remand of the party’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye.
Abronye was remanded into police custody by the Accra Circuit Court following his arraignment on charges of offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace. He is expected to reappear in court on September 12, 2025.
In a statement on Facebook, Nana B expressed frustration that the police have failed to act on an earlier NPP complaint concerning threats of death made against him, the Minority Leader Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, and the Chief Whip, Annor Dompreh, during the Akwatia by-election.
“It has been almost a week yet the Ghana Police Service has failed to take any action on the NPP’s complaint of threat of death by Chief Sofo Azorka and Alhaji Abdul Wahab during the Akwatia by-elections against the NPP’s Minority Leader Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the National Organizer of NPP Nana B and Hon Annor Dompreh (Chief Whip),” Nana B said.
He contrasted this inaction with the rapid arrest and court arraignment of Abronye, suggesting the police prioritize cases involving NPP members while ignoring threats from opposition supporters.
“Strangely, the police have the manpower and resources to pursue and arrest the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman, deny him sufficient legal representation, and arraign him before court within 48 hours on misdemeanours while those who have committed felonies walk about freely,” Nana B stated.
The NPP National Organiser urged the Inspector General of Police to ensure impartiality, warning that the party will respond if the perceived bias continues.
